battlefield community garden
By kelpie. Filed in Glasgow South, guerrilla gardening |
for about 6 months now a group of resident in battlefield (southside) have been transforming a bit of derelict land into the area. so far we’ve planted around 300 bulbs, a couple of fruit bushes and built a composting area. next we’re making raised beds.
the garden doesn’t have ‘permission’ and is completely done by volunteers with no funding, not a lot of time but lots of love.
if anyone lives in the battlefield/langside area you’d be welcome to join us.

Sounds good! I live in the battlefield area and would love to help out and learn a bit along the way. Like you I don’t have much time but I am willing to get involved when possible as well as potentially donating some seedboms.
If you could tell me more details that would be great. Either post on the site or you can email me at studio@kabloom.co.uk.
Cheers
Darren

Hi Darren – thanks for your comment. the garden area is the bit of greenspace on the corner of arundel drive and ledard road.
We have a facebook group – Battlefield Community Project – we’re planning other stuff in the area such as some artwork/mural type stuff on the ends of the lanes (instead of tagging), and another street party in early July (we had one last year in June which is where it all started).
The next meeting is in Beanscene on the 7th Feb at 2pm, and I think we’ll be mostly talking about the garden.
